        Just back from court and getting into this Cohen lawyer's letter, which is ... a lot: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4438426-Cohen-v-USA-Cohen-041618.html …pic.twitter.com/luwobJqMFW

        Here's what Michael Cohen's lawyers say his law practice has consisted of since leaving the Trump Org in January 2017 and operating as a solo practitioner:pic.twitter.com/1l4ejgDC9Y

        Although those sentences are worded strangely, it would appear Cohen's lawyers are saying that the third person is a legal client to Cohen whose legal matters are responsive to the warrant.

        Cohen's lawyers: "To the extent it bears repeating, federal prosecutors have seized the data and files of the personal attorney of the President of the United States. This is completely unprecedented."

        Cohen's letter seems to misstate what is meant by "special circumstances." It doesn't mean, "Wow, this is wild."It means there are special things about the representation that justify keeping its existence hidden. The letter does nothing to explain that.pic.twitter.com/dnHXM0K3yo

        In the case cited, that lengthy quote is from the court's introduction of the discussion — not its resolution. In the case, it found no protection — and explained how limited the circumstances are when a client's identity can be shielded. https://openjurist.org/992/f2d/449/vingelli-v-united-states …pic.twitter.com/BwcOVRjetT

        because, of course. Every criminal always wants to know what the Feds have on them.

        Generally speaking, the mere name of a client is not privileged. What’s really interesting is that that client’s docs are “responsive” to the warrant.

        The one and only reason for that objection are crimes committed and a desperate need to hide it all.

        Why, no executive privilege can be exerted , Cohen is Trump’s personal attorney.

        So, if there are other 'client's' info in what was seized and is allowed to be reviewed by Trump's attorney, wouldn't they then be breaking attorney-client privilege?
